#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <vlc/libvlc.h>

static void quit_on_exception (libvlc_exception_t *excp) {
   if (libvlc_exception_raised (excp)) {
      fprintf(stderr, "error: %s\n", libvlc_exception_get_message(excp));
      exit(-1);
   }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
   libvlc_exception_t excp;
   libvlc_instance_t *inst;
   int item;
   char *filename = "/tmp/WorldOfPadman_Intro.avi";

   libvlc_exception_init (&excp);
   inst = libvlc_new (argc, argv, &excp);
   quit_on_exception (&excp);
   item = libvlc_playlist_add (inst, filename, NULL, &excp); 
   quit_on_exception (&excp);
   libvlc_playlist_play (inst, item, 0, NULL, &excp); 
   quit_on_exception (&excp);
   usleep (10000000);
   libvlc_destroy (inst);
   return 0;
}

return: teste1.c:3:24: fatal error: vlc/libvlc.h: Directory or file not found.
help me please

So did you type all this on the command line?

Code:

Compile/Link/Run for Linux
$ export VLC_SRC=/tmp/vlc-0.8.6c
$ gcc -I ${VLC_SRC}/include/ -lvlc -L ${VLC_SRC}/src/.libs/ demo.c -o demo
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${VLC_SRC}/src/.libs/ 
$ ./demo --plugin-path ${VLC_SRC}

Have you actually downloaded and installed all the development files?

You can't just grab random bits of code and expect them to compile without working through the pre-requisites.

I'm using Geany 1.22 to compile the script in Ubuntu.
I have VLC installed, but are not sure if the development files. Can you help me with that?

I guess you run package manager, and search for "vlc-dev" to begin with.

Or you read some more of the tutorial you posted in your first message.
